Additive Manufacturing is at the core of surgical device development, cutting-edge simulation and research innovation that is helping the University of Southern Florida Health program advance state-of-the-art education into real world healthcare practices. The Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS) department is responsible for every possible form of health professional education and training and by using the Objet Connex technology from Stratasys they are continuously innovating and pushing the limits of design and prototype development. From conceptualization, device validation and improvement on simulation tactics 3D printing has played an integral role. Join Stratasys and Mario Simoes to find out how rapid prototyping can really expand the way engineers design, develop and implement new products into the industry.

Mario Simoes is the Chief Engineer at the Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CALMS) center in Tampa, FL. Mario has been developing innovative medical solutions in conjunction with Dr. Stuart Hart at USF CAMLS. He has been providing clients with unique solutions through collaborative engineering and state of the art technologies. Mario has a masters in Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Florida.
